    £7.83 which includes a Scottish fiver;) lol

    I use a debit card for anything over a fiver and then cashback credit card for internet etc.

    don't like having huge wads of cash on me and a small amount means i can pay for a trolley at supermarket etc. Also like the idea if something happened to my mobile i would be able to use a pay phone although they seem to be a bit thin on the ground these days:rolleyes:

    p.s Jonnybravo when I was in Newcastle the lloyds atm there gives you fivers! Thought it was amazing. I think all banks should do this!

    Fife, you say? I thought the atm's were still paying out in pound notes in that neck of the woods. ;)



    (just kidding)
  • £65 feel naked without at least £50 in my pocket, but thinking about it thats been the same amount for about 25 years.

    Some charity shops don't take card payments, so I always have a spare tenner tucked in a tiny keyring pouch and safety-pinned closed to make it tricky to get it out (avoids impulse buys but allows for unmissable bargains).

    Today I have this tenner plus £18.69 cash, but that's to last me at least a week. No big expenses envisaged, got my rail tickets for the next three journeys, and enough food except bread, milk and veg.
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    I would have had more but my 4 year old caught me counting it so I could post here and robbed some for his piggy bank :rolleyes:

    I tend to use my card because I spend it far to easily if I have cash, all those couple of quids here and there soon add up. I feel daft spending on my card if its only for a small item.

    I'm unusually loaded. I took out some cash just 10 days ago to go out for a drink/meal with friends, then the drunkest one went and got the bill and insisted he paid, so that was £10 saved.

    I have: £14.25. One £5 note and the rest in change.

    I only operate with cash, except for online purchasing.
    I used to make a monthly withdrawal, however having a new job in walking distance has significantly reduced my spending, & I tend now to go to the cashpoint when I get down to my last tenner.

    Why, what are you selling? Got any ID?
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
